rILM o nRYInG DEVICE.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGIA LORENA PENNY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Allston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Film-Carrying Devices, of which the followmg is a specification.

This invention relates to film carrying devices especially adapted to be secured to a camera carrying case and has for its o'b-. jectthe production of a simple and eflicient film carrying device which may be attached to the ordinary camera carrying case.

Another object of this invention is the production of a simple and efficient film carrying receptacle which may be Secured to the ordinary camera carr ing case and which will be held firmly in engagement with the sides thereof and prevented from slipping longitudinally upon the carrying strap.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will appear throughout the following specification and claim.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a camera carrying case, Showing the receptacles secured thereto,

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of one of the film carrying receptacles,

Fig. 3 is a vertical Section through a portion of a camera carrying case Showing the film carrying receptacle also in section,

Fig. 4 is a section taken on line 44 of Fig. 3,

Fig. 5 is a section taken on line 55 of Fig. 4.

By referring to the drawings, it will be seen that 1 designates the camera carryingreceptacle which is provided with the usual carrying straps 2, these carrying straps '2 being secured at their lower end as indicated at 3, at a point intermediate the ends of the camera carrying case 1.

A film carrying receptacle 4 is adapted to fit upon each side of the camera carrying receptacle 1 as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, and each film carrying receptacle 4 comprises a flat back strip 5, andp ci t r PatentedDec .'-16, 1919. Application filed February 26, 1918, Serial No. 219,271.

Renewed June 12, 1919. Serial no. 303,771.

ceptacle 4 as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, and this closure flap 8 is provided with a fastener 9, this fastener 9 being adapted to engage the fastener 10 carried bythe receptacle 4.

The rear strip 5 is provided with a strap receiving aperture 11 formed intermediate the ends thereof and preferably located near thecenter of the film supporting receptacle 4 as Shownin Fig. 4 of the drawings. The carrying strap2 is adapted to be extended through the aperture 7 and lie snugly upon the inner face of the strips 5 as shown in Fig. 3, this carrying Strap 2 also passing through an aperture 12 formed in the cover shown in Figs. 3 and 4 of the drawings. It should be understood that owing to the passing of the strap 2 through the aperture 11 in the manner illustrated in Fig. 3, and above described, the receptacle 4 will be firmly held in engagement with the camera carrying case 1 and held against longitudinal Slipping upon the strap 2, due to the frictional gripping, which is caused by passing the strap 2 through the aperture 11 and causing the strap 2 to engage the outer face of the strips 5 near the lower end thereof and the inner face of the strips 5 near the upper end thereof. In this way, the receptacle 4 will be held against unnecessary longitudinal Slipping movement upon the supporting or carrying strap 2. AS shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the receptacles 4 are preferably or approximately the same height as the cam-' era carrying receptacle 1 and are approxi- A combined camera casing and film carrying receptacle comprising a camera carryng casing, a carrying strap having its ends secured firmly to the sides of said camera carrying casing at a point intermediate the upon the inner face thereof intermediate the upper and lower ends of the film carrying receptacle said carrying strap passing down against the inner face of the a stored condi upper and lower ends thereof, a fihn carr in'g receptacle provided withslots formed inner Wall of said film carrying receptacle carrying receptacle in vertical relation with and threaded through said aperture, for detachably securing said film carrylng receptacle to said camera carrying easlng, the

lower end of said film carrying receptao1o;-

fitting snugly against the side Wall of said camera carrying casing and said carrying strap adapted to normally hold the film respect to said camera carrying casing. 10
